RESUMEN
The reaction of the rhodium(i) complexes [Rh(E)(PEt3)3] (E = GePh3 (1), Si(OEt)3 (5)) with HFO-1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) afforded [Rh(F)(PEt3)3] (2) and the functionalized olefins Z-CF3CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(E) (E = GePh3 (4a), Si(OEt)3 (7)). Conceivable reaction pathways were assessed using DFT calculations. Reactions of [Rh(E)(PEt3)3] with HFO-1234ze (E-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) yielded the rhodium fluorido complex 2 and [Rh{(E)-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(CF3)}(PEt3)3] (9) via two different reaction pathways. Using complexes 1 and 5 as catalysts, functionalized building blocks were obtained.
RESUMEN
Reactions of platinum(0) tolane complexes, bearing a chelating ligand with P and N donor atoms, with the electrophilic fluorinating agent XeF2 give facile access to platinum(II) ß-fluorovinyl fluorido complexes. A series of new platinum(II) ß-fluorovinyl complexes have been synthesized and were structurally characterized. Further oxidation with XeF2 led to ortho-metalated platinum(IV) fluorido compounds. Additional reactions of platinum(0) tolane complexes, bearing a chelating P,P donor ligand, with XeF2 led to a variety of fluorido and fluorovinyl complexes.
RESUMEN
The dihydrido germyl complex cis,fac-[Rh(GePh3)(H)2(PEt3)3] (2) was synthesized by an oxidative addition of HGePh3 at [Rh(H)(PEt3)3] (1). Treatment of 2 with neohexene generated the rhodium(i) germyl complex [Rh(GePh3)(PEt3)3] (3). Alternatively, treatment of the methyl complex [Rh(CH3)(PEt3)3] (4) with HGePh3 furnished at room temperature also 3. Low-temperature NMR measurements revealed an initial formation of the oxidative addition product fac-[Rh(GePh3)(H)(CH3)(PEt3)3] (5), which transforms into the intermediate complex [Rh(GePh3)(H)(CH3)(PEt3)2] (6) by dissociation of a triethylphosphine ligand. The reductive elimination of methane and coordination of PEt3 afforded the germyl complex 3. Treatment of 3 with CO gave the biscarbonyl complex [Rh(GePh3)(CO)2(PEt3)2] (7). The molecular structures of the complexes 2, 3 and 7 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The germyl complex 3 reacted with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine or pentafluorobenzene to furnish the C-H activation products [Rh(4-C5NF4)(PEt3)3] (8) and [Rh(C6F5)(PEt3)3] (9), respectively. The reaction of 3 with hexafluorobenzene or perfluorotoluene gave selectively the C-F activation products 9 and [Rh(4-C6F4CF3)(PEt3)3] (10). Treatment of 3 with pentafluoropyridine resulted in the formation of the C-F activation products 8 and [Rh(2-C5NF4)(PEt3)3] (11) in a 1 : 10 ratio. The two isomeric activation compounds [Rh{(E)-CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CF(CF3)}(PEt3)3] (12) and [Rh{(Z)-CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CF(CF3)}(PEt3)3] (13) were obtained in a 3 : 1 ratio by reaction of 3 with hexafluoropropene. On exposure to oxygen the highly air sensitive complex 12 reacts to yield the peroxido-bridged dirhodium complex [Rh{(E)-CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CF(CF3)}(µ-κ(1):η(2)-O2)(PEt3)2]2 (14). The molecular structure of 14 was determined by X-ray crystallography.
RESUMEN
The reaction of the silyl complex [Rh{Si(OEt)3}(PEt3)3] (1) with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene afforded the rhodium complex [Rh(CH2CHCF3){Si(OEt)3}(PEt3)2] (2) which features a bonded fluorinated olefin. In contrast the rhodium hydrido complex [Rh(H)(PEt3)3] (3) yielded on treatment with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene in the presence of a base the fluorido complex [Rh(F)(PEt3)3] (4) together with 1,1-difluoro-1-propene by C-F bond activation. At low temperature the intermediate fac-[Rh(H)(CH2CHCF3)(PEt3)3] (5) was detected by NMR spectroscopy. The germyl complex [Rh(GePh3)(PEt3)3] (6) reacted also with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene by C-F bond activation affording again the fluorido complex [Rh(F)(PEt3)3] (4) as well as the (3,3-difluoroallyl)triphenylgermane 7. The catalytic hydrogermylation of 3,3,3-trifluoropropene in the presence of various germanium hydrides under mild conditions was developed by employing complex 6 as a catalyst. The molecular structures of both germane derivatives (3,3-difluoroallyl)triphenylgermane 7 and 1,1,1-trifluoropropane-3-triphenylgermane 8 were determined by X-ray crystallography.
